Bajas & Falsas

The Baja has its roots in Mexico, where it all started with the traditional falsa blanket. These blankets are woven from a thick woolen cloth called "jerga" and feature simple patterns and stripes. Falsa blankets were, and still are, used all across Mexico, from Oaxaca to Tijuana. There was a natural progression to use the falsa material (or Jerga) to make a jumper; it’s very warm and brushing the inside makes it very soft and cosy, plus the loose weave allows for great air circulation and quick drying.
